My daughters horse is starting to feel the affects of this down economy. Here is the twisted tale.

When the housing marketing starts hurting, and fewer new homes are built, it affects many other industries. One industry in particular would be the wood working and cabinet manufacturing industries. Fewer homes means a reduction in the number of cabinets being built, and the amount of wood needed to build homes, like trusses and framing material.

The issue we face, is a reduction in the creation of these products also means a reduction in the scraps these companies produce, namely saw dust. That’s right, saw dust. We use saw dust to bed our horses stall. It’s a common and necessary practice. Right now, the companies we usually buy from have either gone out of business or have no material to sell. And those that do are placing a hefty price tag on it.

So now we look for alternative sources. Is this an opportunity to go “green”? Could be. What would you recommend instead?
